I'm not a fan of the 6 again rule, it just seems so inconsistent as to how it's officiated on... maybe the second ref might help

Send this 6 again rule back to where it came from. Hell.

It is THE dumbest rule brought in. They hand them out like lollies TO ONE TEAM only. It's completely turned the game around and made it all about attack like I'm watching a Toyota/Holden/Insert car manufacturer here Cup game.

If you want teams to get in line, grow some balls and start sin binning or maybe bring in a 5 minute sin bin.

THE dumbest rule they have brought in.

While we're talking about rules, they need to change the zero tackle from a tap restart. If a team kicks the ball dead, it should be six again as it is. If a team knocks on in goal it should NOT be six again. Why should a team get 2 rewards for 1 error?

NO TEAM in history is going to knock on in goal on purpose. "alright men, I want you to put in a grubber into the in goal but don't ground it. Make sure you knock the ball on so the opposition has 7 tackles instead of 6 which practically guarantees them a trip into our 20". See how dumb that sounds?

I'd love to see them revise the 7 tackle rule... no idea how... but like you think of the hard work the forwards do to win field position, and then the opposition is rewarded++ if for example, you kick a ball a mere few CM too long..

More control should be given to the bunker. I mean if you can see it on TV, surely the bunker can overrule.

Why not have the bunker officiate and the refs simply relay that decision onto players?
